More Arcopal

Arcopal roses & happy feelings

Saw these cups on the internet yesterday,

fancied them.

Found them in the charity shop today!

Were they there already and did I have

a premonition about them yesterday?

Were they there because of some

wish fulfilling thinking of mine?

Or were they just there

and would I not have noticed them today

when I had not seen them yesterday?

Was it just dumb luck?

I muse about these matters.

And it gives me a happy feeling!

Enjoy your weekend!

Yr Wylan...the Seagull

A poem of the Welshman
Dafydd ap Gwilym (circa 1320 - 1380).
The story is about a seagull
who is commanded by a lover
to convey a message of love
to the girl he adores.

Free translation of the first stanza:

Where did you get your color from,
seagull?

Snow or the moon?
You are perfect in color and line,
a chip of sunshine.
Proud creature

-weightless-
as it hunts for fish,

on the waves.
Riding at anchor - come with me,
you, white lily of the sea,
so shiny, so white as paper,
a nun who sits on the waves.
